Fact 9

I have no appendix. Had to have it removed back in the sixth grade. So, if you’re ever unfortunate enough to see me without my shirt, you’ll see a lovely four inch scar on my belly.

One of my favorite memories about that experience was having my sixth grade teacher come visit while I was in the hospital. She had decided to bring in the class hamster to pay me a visit, and snuck it into the hospital inside one of those hamster balls, which was inside her bag. As we were visiting, she put the ball down on the floor, and let the little guy roam around the room. However, after a couple of minutes, the nurse came into the room, and in order to hide the hamster, he was quickly punted under the bed.

It’s amazing that little guy survived the school year.
